#

and also lei heng is a cunning and opportunistic fighter

split beacon
#

he's got that deranged "holy shit fighting makes me feel like I'm free and alive" mentality

cloud wadi
#

which leisault also is

stoic fjord
#

I would imagine that she's moreso excessively indulgent, and allows Kiramael too much, but out of a genuine want to make her happy rather than posturing

#

idk I just feel that kind of vibe

cloud wadi
#

they are also both slightly more kinder than the average thumb capo

split beacon
#

they're also both the Tiantui Star

cloud wadi
#

lei sault gives the woman he's negotiating with an opportunity to correct herself

#

rather than just ripping her tongue out right there

cosmic gorge
#

So was Olga and Ish got the skintight diver ID

neat cedar
#

ye

split beacon
neat cedar
#

but yeah man

#

it's kinda

split beacon
#

oh you mean for Rodion

neat cedar
#

actually hard to definitively say

#

who gets what

#

with the nurse fathers

#

which i like

split beacon
#

Outis Valencina feels locked in

cloud wadi
#

rodion and valencina do seem pretty good fit

split beacon
#

she's a war veteran

cloud wadi
#

but I think outis would fit too

keen palm
#

He was gone for 20 years which Is Pretty Bad.

cloud wadi
#

yeah

#

she's an exile

neat cedar
#

war

cloud wadi
#

a war veteran

neat cedar
cloud wadi
#

who desperately wants to go home

#

but can't

neat cedar
#

he was trying to get back

keen palm
#

I mean yeah but still

neat cedar
#

like that is absnetee but i wouldn't call that fully bad dad status

cosmic gorge
#

Not the first time rodya was ish's immediate superior in a mirror world

keen palm
#

You aren't a Good Parent if you literally have not met your child once

neat cedar
#

that is "io got fuckin kidnapped"

split beacon
#

in direct contrast btw

#

with Agamemnon

#

who slew his daughter to go to war

stoic fjord
#

MatthiRodion and Kiramael actually makes a good amount of sense

neat cedar
#

yeah he didn't even want to go to war

ebon forge
#

I’m hoping all the nursefathers get genderbent or something

crimson spindle
#

that honestly undersells it

cloud wadi
#

odysseus was pretending to be insane

#

so that he wouldn't get sent to war

crimson spindle
#

specifically snuck around and betrayed his wife to sacrifice his daughter for war

cloud wadi
#

so someone placed his baby in front of the cart he was driving

split beacon
#

look

ebon forge
cloud wadi
#

forcing Odysseus to turn the cart away to save his child

#

and thus proving he wasn't insane

split beacon
#

no one should be surprised Odysseus went home to a faithful wife and son who was THRILLED to see him

neat cedar
#

jesus

crimson spindle
#

like went waaay out of his way to force it

split beacon
#

and Clytemnestra fucking beheaded Agamemnon

neat cedar
#

yeah

#

if ody was a bad dad

#

i don't think penelope would be so against accepting his death

cosmic gorge
#

Bad by circumstance and not by choice

cloud wadi
#

but yeah

#

if Odysseus didn't go to war

#

they literally would have killed him and his family

split beacon
#

I could easily see Outis being the salty pickled war veteran living out the last of her days in a seething fury

#

BUT

neat cedar
#

again, not even bad by circumstance

#

just

#

shit happens

split beacon
#

she wouldn't beat her apprentice because that's inefficient.

neat cedar
#

and you don't always get a choice

cloud wadi
#

but it's kinda the same thing as ||ryoshu leaving araya in the time vault||

#

it was seemingly the best option at the time

neat cedar
#

mhmm

cloud wadi
#

still

#

would feel horrible for the kid

neat cedar
#

yeah

#

very much a

#

No win scenario

#

as far as parenting goes

split beacon
#

I'm calling it, Outis Valencina would not beat Lucio Heath

#

not beyond what protocol strictly demands of her at least

neat cedar
#

i am sticking

#

to lucio greg

#

Lucio greg feels

split beacon
#

really?

neat cedar
#

very

#

VERY likely

cloud wadi
#

how about Albina

neat cedar
#

i mean

split beacon
#

I mean on the one hand Worst Mom

cloud wadi
#

who would be albina

neat cedar
#

look at greg's entire beat

#

and lucio's flavor text. . . .

split beacon
#

on the other, Backstreets orphan dragged out of the gutter by an abusive saviour

cloud wadi
#

sinclair?

neat cedar
#

Albina is

#

odd

#

same with ren

split beacon
#

well

neat cedar
#

i can't solidly place either with certainty

cloud wadi
#

faust is a bottom tier proselyte

split beacon
#

Albina is ridiculously desperate for a pat on the head, she needs approval and recognition like most people need water

cloud wadi
#

I guess because she actually thinks about her prescripts

#

and tries to puzzle htem out

neat cedar
#

yeah

ebon forge
#

Ren Lu

neat cedar
#

she doesn't seem them as blind faith

split beacon
#

Ren Lu feels like a layup

neat cedar
#

they're a problem to solve

cloud wadi
#

yeah

#

which is fun for her

split beacon
#

who's desperate for recognition and approval in the bus gang tho

cloud wadi
#

but also not how you rise to the top as an Index

ebon forge
#

I feel like Hong Lu and Ren make a lot of sense

neat cedar
#

i can see it

#

especially given the uh

split beacon
#

...Rodion?

neat cedar
#

||Way the ren goes out, trying to do one final kindess for araya||

split beacon
#

damn same brain

cloud wadi
#

ren really does embody the concept of humanity that Pinkies are supposed to champion huh

neat cedar
#

albina rodion would be

#

really sad

#

like

ebon forge
#

I feel like Gregor would actually fuck with that role

neat cedar
#

immensely sad

#

. . . .

#

fuck

cloud wadi
#

||Chivalry. Honor. The pursuit of glory||

neat cedar
#

that makes it so likely

split beacon
#

god

neat cedar
#

rodion has been gettting nothing

split beacon
#

albina rodion wouldn't be able to eat anymore

neat cedar
#

but sad ids lately

split beacon
#

FUCK

#

FUCK

cloud wadi
#

it's okay

ebon forge
#

Rodion crashout imminent

cloud wadi
#

we can cut out that part of her brain

neat cedar
#

evil

cloud wadi
#

and ||feed it to fuschia||

split beacon
#

you be quiet

cloud wadi
#

we can fill up the hole in her heart

#

with more holes

dusty sigil
#

Index baby

#

Wooooooooo

split beacon
#

Pinky...

ebon forge
#

Charlie I’m gonna [Savage Tigerslayer's Perfected Flurry of Blades [超絕猛虎殺擊亂斬]] your fucking ass

ebon forge
split beacon
#

wait fuck

#

probably Ring

minor gust
tiny cave
dusty sigil
#

What are you doing here then?

minor gust
#

also wtf so my problem is a bug man

split beacon
#

you're amongst mad people

minor gust
#

and pmoon still fixing it

tiny cave
minor gust
#

it still pops out

dusty sigil
cloud wadi
#

definitely not gonna roll for a kiramael

split beacon
#

I don't need it...

cloud wadi
#

but I do wonder which apprentice may get skipped

split beacon
#

either Albina or Ren let's be real those guys didn't get as much characterization or screen time

neat cedar
#

depends ofr me

#

ish has good burn and good blkeed ids

cloud wadi
#

or maybe both

#

would callisto get an ID

minor gust
#

looms like im gonna have to wait for a fix according to steam

split beacon
#

feels like we might get a Hohenheim Lamp ID

cloud wadi
#

i'm guessing that's for lce bokgak

neat cedar
#

ye

split beacon
#

Probably.

#

who else...

#

we have two more story IDs minimum to fill out

minor gust
# neat cedar oof

yeah steam announcment there is a bug about the popout which sucks

ebon forge
#

Also

#

You know what’s interesting

cloud wadi
#

maybe a few more udjats?

ebon forge
#

Lucio was given a chance to realize his goals of killing Val

cloud wadi
#

ring nurse father?

ebon forge
#

He had a chance he could take

#

And he didn’t

split beacon
#

we haven't gotten any more Udjat characters is the thing

#

so that feels a little weird

cloud wadi
neat cedar
#

that's why i'm gregor maxing for lucio, tbh

split beacon
#

hmm

cloud wadi
#

by even the tiniest display of appreciation on Valencina's part

split beacon
#

Gregor Lucio so Heathcliff can get the Hohenheim Lamp ID or the other way around

#

which way, limbus man

cloud wadi
#

vespa crabro id

ebon forge
#

I seriously hope middle mommy is just a setup

neat cedar
#

also can i just say

cloud wadi
#

oh actually

#

matthias actually do fit rodion

neat cedar
#

9-45 ||That valencina talking about thar one g corp.soldier she toruted gave such rank vubes||

split beacon
#

I mean yeah

cloud wadi
#

he really wants to be special, but he isn't, so he covers it up with augments

neat cedar
#

||Especially given that it's a foreign war vet in a korean story||

split beacon
cloud wadi
#

lmfao

neat cedar
#

||Very well dond, any small amoubt if pity if felt for her sas instantly evaporated||

ebon forge
split beacon
#

like

#

literally he could just use all that AND shin

cloud wadi
#

can't even gather up the smallest amount of willpower to manifest shin

neat cedar
#

man has no principles

cloud wadi
#

the thing even a few apprentices can manage to do

split beacon
#

well, I don't know if it's willpower

#

isn't Shin more like

cloud wadi
#

it's the memory

split beacon
#

self-control

neat cedar
#

yeah

cloud wadi
#

he says it himself that

#

he really really doesn't like recalling his past

#

and you kinda need to do that to manifest shin

split beacon
#

it's the discipline and self-mastery to focus and channel one emotion, narrowing it down to an all consuming point of focus

neat cedar
#

man likes to.keep his mind empty

dusty sigil
#

Ok thank fuck I wasn’t the only one who heard this, I was subconsciously humming undertale tracks the entire time I was going through the canto

neat cedar
#

he doesn't think to the future ornthenpast

cloud wadi
neat cedar
split beacon
neat cedar
#

given the vibes of this canto

cloud wadi
#

I bet he bought that moonstone to help him try and manifest shin

#

but ofc moonstones probably doesn't help with it

ebon forge
#

Actually, if we get reverb IDs, what would each sinner get

dusty sigil
split beacon
#

Tanya Ryoshu

ebon forge
#

It’d be really fucking funny if say, Faust gets le stupid

split beacon
#

lol

#

Elena Faust

cloud wadi
#

i think ryoshu would get bremen as like a joke

ebon forge
#

Exactly

split beacon
#

Pluto Yi Sang

ebon forge
#

yeah you get the vision

cloud wadi
#

they are both incomprehensible

split beacon
#

Greta Ishmael

cloud wadi
#

jaeheon heathcliff

split beacon
#

absolutely

#

I can definitely picture Heathcliff doing Jae-Heon's resentful soliloquy

cloud wadi
#

who has now forgotten why exactly he weas turning kids into flesh amalgation now

#

but still roland was bad for burning it!

split beacon
#

wait a fucking moment-

#

CALLISTO IS A GOD DAMN HACK!

cloud wadi
#

yeah lmfao

split beacon
#

||HE STOLE HIS ENTIRE FLOW FROM JAE HEON||

cloud wadi
#

jaeheon didn't get it from callisto

#

callisto got it from him!

split beacon
#

THEY GOTTA BEAT THIS MAN TO DEATH IN THE RING HQ

#

MAESTROS, TAKE HIS FUCKING LIMBS

cloud wadi
#

one thing that might put a damper on this is

#

ryoshu mentions she was trained by fighting manikins before

#

which means they were around years ago

split beacon
#

sure but we know that Rien and Callisto were also stalking around the City following behind a certain Fixer around that time

#

on account of Callisto being the one to butcher Rien's original family

#

so basically,

#

Callisto is a hack-fraud, the Paul W.S. Anderson of Ring Maestros and a creatively sterile failure who the Ring are absolutely correct to be so ashamed of that they hurled him into a bottomless pit

ebon forge
#

I love this

split beacon
#

they did to him what everyone who watches movies these days wishes we could do to JJ Abrams

cloud wadi
#

I like how kiramael’s obsession with fixer culture is simultaneously more useful and also just as superficial as Kira’s

#

Kira loves the hype moment and aura of the fixers

split beacon
#

Don Quixote btw

cloud wadi
#

Ishmael studies them because killing them is fun

split beacon
#

hit her with the Reading Comprehension Blast

cloud wadi
#

That’s the most Don Quixote seemed distressed since the day she killed her father

split beacon
#

SILENCE, VILLAIN! DON QUIXOTE HARDBLOOD BLAST!

cloud wadi
#

She really couldn’t comprehend how another person who loves fixer culture just as much as she does was so superficial about it

stoic fjord
split beacon
#

"You like the same thing as me for the wrong reasons, perish" is like

cloud wadi
#

Is Don a gatekeeper

split beacon
#

a whole mood I see fairly often tbh

#

Don may be a gatekeeper but you know what

#

let her gatekeep being a Fixer fan a little

#

Kira needs to learn this one

stoic fjord
#

listen

cloud wadi
#

I bet we’ll see her again as a member of LCC eventually

stoic fjord
#

with how fucking much Don Quixote knows and how much time and effort and dedication she's put into it

she can gatekeep as a treat

split beacon
#

LCD ya mean?

cloud wadi
#

Following after LCB

#

Where she collects Don’s artifacts

#

For uh

#

Her collection

#

I mean research purposes

stoic fjord
#

LCCA, probably

#

since

#

the after team

split beacon
#

listen I think they'll put her on the LCD because that's the named character squad part 2

#

but also

cloud wadi
#

But if we put her in lcc

#

Caiman will suffer

split beacon
#

I'd pog if Kira showed up in LCCA duds chatting that guy's ear off

#

YES

#

make Caiman deal with her.

#

okay so with the pilot effisaude pun squad what's Caiman's deal

stoic fjord
#

what

#

OHHHH PILOT EPISODE

split beacon
#

yeah

stoic fjord
#

hrmmm

#

Caiman....

neat cedar
#

Dean caiman

#

related to the uh

#

cutaway thing

#

oh wait no

split beacon
#

Dean Kamen, inventor of the segway?

#

for segue?

neat cedar
#

cinfused a dumb joke

#

yeah

#

orob not the case

#

it was a joke from a podcast u watch

cloud wadi
#

Kaimen raidah

neat cedar
#

lol

split beacon
#

btw

#

it's because Effie's name is pronounced like "eppie" in Korean

cloud wadi
#

And Saude is pronounced sode

#

I just worry about whatever bullshit cybernetics they’ll give Kira

#

You already know whatever prosthetics she gets she’s gonna instantly modify it with random doohickeys

#

Like that slot machine arm from arcane

stoic fjord
#

Sevika's slot machine arm is pure aura

#

and I hope that at some point Rodion gets a gambling related ID

cosmic gorge
#

Caiman

split beacon
#

maybe?

keen palm
dusty sigil
#

Really gonna do it this time

#

Also I sharded her

cloud wadi
#

Only way to stop the pain

#

Is to stop the clock

dusty sigil
#

Killing KJH with my mind

cloud wadi
#

One of her lines ||wonder if you will really be back, or if you’d turn out to be a liar too||

dusty sigil
#

I SAW

#

KILLING KJH WITH MY MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIND

cloud wadi
#

I like the new announcer

#

It’s like four in one package

#

I bet we’ll get all the Nursefathers together as one deal

#

Imagine all five Nursefathers backseating you

dusty sigil
#

That would be very funny

cloud wadi
#

Valencina shouting at you whenever you use an ineffective skill

dusty sigil
#

||Man, it’s really goddamn funny to me that of everyone it’s Lei fucking Heng who was the most honest with Ryoshu||

#

||Just bluntly goes “oh yah your kid? She’s a trap, they’ll use her as leverage to keep you here.”||

#

||Uncle Lei Heng is so compassionate and kind||

split beacon
#

walking the path of humanity or something

cloud wadi
#

||Force ghost moment||

dusty sigil
cloud wadi
#

Lmfao

#

Honestly

#

The fact that her deepest sin is Lust

#

Says a lot about her

#

Lust and wrath

dusty sigil
#

I mean thats already 2/3 of the thumb sins

stoic fjord
#

Lei Heng lacks lust iirc

dusty sigil
#

Thumbsault and Thumbclair both are wrath lust sloth

cloud wadi
#

The thumb’s obsession with rules, honor, and propriety is cover for the fact that the thing they actually value is family and glory

#

Just like how middle’s obsession with rules and family is cover for the fact that they value hate and violence more

dusty sigil
#

Which, actually knowing what we now know envy makes a lot of sense

#

The base soldattos are wrath and sloth

cloud wadi
#

The thumb probably has some twisted sense of honor

#

Like instead of chivalrous honor of open duels or whatever

#

Sending assassins to avenge their lost honor

#

That kinda thing

tired canyon
#

...ezra if you werent literally as tall and heavy as a fridge and equally hard to damage

your inability to win a clash would make me upset

fluid whale
#

I do like the gameplay showing that Vespa is fully on another level to Ezra and she can only really measure up when going all out

HOWEVER

#

Woulda been a lot easier to get through the canto if I'd have realized ||I was supposed to just sit back and not consume any K Corp ampules, because the damage wouldn't be worth it||

tired canyon
#

the unstaggerable woman

fluid whale
#

it is kinda funny that nobody of our helpers that's above our level have any stagger thresholds, like that's just a thing you stop being vulnerable to once you get swole enough

just fully finished canto 9, i can finally open all those spoilers in here

Your IDs don’t matter you just do the gimmick

Yeah that was the fight that made me say to my friend “okay we’ve reached Ruina-level boss design” lol

i will read thje paasives

It’s not too hard

Clash orange skills if he has no green skills

Clash green skills otherwise

#

oh, fucking, I just realized something

#

9-50: ||Rien's burn (and the prosthetic that covers it up) is a partial mask because he's an imperfect copy of Roland||

Can’t even get a whole mask

They were mother and daughter

dusty sigil
#

They call each other that and treat each other like that

tired canyon
#

it was that easy ok

tired canyon
#

it took me 1 try lol

gentle mulch
dusty sigil
#

Their defining scene that they keep flashing back to is Araya telling Ryoshu what she learned in school lol

uneven canopy
#

just look at the art, nothing else

dusty sigil
#

Also like, we also have Shiomi being coerced by the organization she’s apart of to give birth to a child that’s treated as more important then she is and then dedicate the rest of her life to raising said child

#

Like, the metaphor is obvious guys

uneven canopy
dusty sigil
#

||Only Dante is able to hear her||

dusty sigil
tired canyon
dusty sigil
#

It’s probably the most in your face metaphor in this entire canto

tired canyon
#

||they play mobopoly every friday||

dusty sigil
#

Shiomi was reduced to her ability to give birth and be a mother because motherhood in the eyes of society is the only thing women are good for

#

Like even if in universe misogyny doesn’t exist in the city it’s still clearly what it’s about

ebon forge
#

You know the scariest thing about Kira Ishmael is that she’s a 30 year old zoomer

#

Probably even 40s

split beacon
#

okay I'm gonna throw out a Captain Moron's Original Spicy Take here

#

if we were to get a Rien Sang ID, something I don't think is actually gonna happen

#

he will NOT be a ||Roland|| kinnie

tiny cave
#

he'll be a gubo kinnie

split beacon
#

it's simple

#

his name didn't change

faint pivot
#

Hwat

#

Didn't happen to me thankfully

fluid whale
#

Yeah ||the reason I kept losing was because my Ezra kept losing the clashes to Matthias and tanking the status buildup, and with 1700 ish health it does go faster than Matthias' 5000||

I do recall the a-def but clashing big boss just meant my sinners died

Including Caposault and Thumbclair because that's that and this is this

||First announcer that made me burst out in tears||.

#

Christ this canto is so peak

#

Damn nice catch

#

||Her Yurodivie ID uptie story also shows how remarkably proficient she is at dealing with accelerated targets||

ebon forge
#

now i wonder

#

did all the other ryoshu ids ||forget araya||?

faint pivot
#

o h

#

||Shiomi and Araya both have 3 purple streaks in their hair. Former's on her left side, latter's on the right||

#

Whahuh?

faint pivot
#

Wait I got it reversed- that's from our PoV

#

But ayeup. Dang.

ebon forge

also

split beacon
#

I wonder, I wonder...

faint pivot
split beacon
#

does ||Ryoshu have natural purple streaks||?

faint pivot
faint pivot
#

Hmmmm

split beacon
#

no I mean

#

I wonder

#

does she dye it yanno

#

like her dad

faint pivot
#

The purple in ||Shiomi may be from limited side effects in using Arayashiki? Just drawing it from its sheath was noted to fuck people up after all||

#

And ||her use of it was noted to be Imperfect||

split beacon
#

it would be cute if it turned out her hair is dyed to remove the resemblance though

faint pivot
#

I'm guessing the changes ||made to Ryo purged that, meanwhile Araya was a plain copy?||

ebon forge
#

i think about how tanks could be S tier atilier arms

#

or specifically the autocannon part of it

faint pivot
#

Most def yeah

#

I was gonna say tracks sound dreadful for City use

split beacon
#

man

#

REAP Ryoshu hits different after the Canto

#

Her suit resembles ||Araya's|| even

faint pivot
#

Oh crap

#

You're right

#

...hm

#

Ryo's glove arm is her left

#

||...she gloves it cause she's hiding the code to the safe there||

#

looks like, yeah

man i feel bad bad for REAP Ryoshu and Maid Ryoshu now

#

they're DEAD

tired canyon
#

....why is it pink

ebon forge
#

araya likes pink

#

easy

tired canyon
#

Then why is it black

ebon forge
#

because its turned off

tired canyon
#

......sure I will go with that

#

Also the fuck would have happened if on the swap April fool's

Hong lu succeeded in unsheathing it

split beacon
#

mind broken

faint pivot
#

I'm guessing rather than her left being irreparably injured, Ryo's left arm has just taken A Lot, hence why she lets the Spider Budlings bite it

#

Or it could just be the same for her right and she offers with her dominant hand out of habit

split beacon
#

hmm

#

Canto 9 recontextualizes a lot of her IDs huh

faint pivot
#

Yep

split beacon
#

||Since they're all interim jobs until she can come back to the House of Spiders and take Araya back||

faint pivot
#

LobCorp ain't letting her go anytime soon

split beacon
#

yeah lol

faint pivot
#

Hm

split beacon
#

wait

#

that makes Heishou Ryoshu awful lmao

faint pivot
#

I feel like Drifting Blade Ryoshu was a side gig

#

oh

#

Oh shit

#

The branch that gives up their memories

#

The faction that treats people as pawns

split beacon

lmao

faint pivot
#

Fuck

split beacon
#

||kid left in safe for all eternity||

faint pivot
split beacon
#

well yeah

#

but ||there's no mom coming back for her lmao||

faint pivot
#

I mean it's unclear for every single ID since they're so preoccupied

#

But uh

#

Yeah

split beacon
#

wait

#

GOD

faint pivot
#

Heishou sucks

split beacon
#

Maid Ryoshu ||WANTED TO BRING HER KID WITH HER TO WUTHERING HEIGHTS SOMEDAY DIDN'T SHE||

#

WAIT

SHE RAISED HEATHCLIFF

RAISED

split beacon
faint pivot
#

Ok ok pause

#

this is t corp

#

These are the Earnshaws

#

They are nobles

#

Surely

split beacon
#

yeah but it doesn't matter

#

because Wildhunt Heath kills her

faint pivot
#

truke...

#

I hope ||that world's Araya found out the truth somehow||

#

I wonder how ||ours, in the form of the announcer, figured out that trait of Arayashiki||

split beacon
#

good ending where Ryoshu gets to introduce Heathcliff (true heir of Wuthering Heights) to ||his little sister Araya||

faint pivot

#

||maid baby araya||

faint pivot
#

Who was the exception?

split beacon
faint pivot
#

||Shiomi isn't benevolent, she's selfish, which probably gets you ousted from the finger of Benevolence according to confucian values||

split beacon
#

or, well

#

okay, real answer is ||Araya. We didn't want to kill her really.||

faint pivot
#

Ah

#

Aha

#

Ahaha

#

yeah

#

That still bums me
God this game is good

#

Yep, her's is on the right

#

Count me in

karmic escarp

||We play as Faust because she knows enough to attempt the craft but not enough to practice it||

I keep mixing up ||Shiomi Yoru with Shiori the VTuber and it's fucking me up lmao||

karmic escarp

||'faust will perform the operation' and she holds up a comically large scalpel as gregor, who got every bone in his body broken and is in a full-body cast, looks at the rest of the sinners with an 'please no' expression||

#

Thank you for expressing this I was too busy gawking to shit on the NF

split beacon
#

if we get another subgame intervallo I hope it's ||a base building game where we rebuild Limbus Company's HQ||

#

||get some more Hohenheim and Alyssa content||

faint pivot
#

(her zweihander)

#

That's describing the entirety of Ruina lmao

#

I can't recall a Ruina fight that wanted you to lose clashes as part of its gimmick (fight, not build, ik YMFTCTB)

split beacon
#

I have a mother fuckin’ theory coming on

split beacon
ebon forge
#

^

split beacon
#

Though, neither is Rien’s actually, his gimmicks are just subtle

faint pivot
#

You can have Ryo lose her exclusive clash

#

To save on resources

ebon forge
#

Oh yeah the thing is, fights like Rien’s are just… “keep winning clashes” and then the two gimmicks are like, “use skill with x damage type”, and “don’t let x get hit”

#

It’s kinda just not that interesting tbh

faint pivot
ebon forge
#

Lei Heng is still one of my favorites

split beacon
#

Rien would've been more interesting if his Prescript gimmick was more involved and forced you to keep checking on his Prescript

faint pivot
#

They are boring because it's safe

#

Because it's predictable

#

Because it's consistent

#

Where else is their faith going?

split beacon
#

anyways now that I'm sat down, theory time.

#

The Index and the Will of the Prescript was greatly involved with this Canto's plot

faint pivot
#

Ok not predictable more like...

#

Stable

#

Anchoring

ebon forge
#

It’s too stable, is all

faint pivot
#

I'd be damned if the City didn't perpetuate its cycle properly

#

...say

#

How do the paper slip mediums cycle their prescripts

#

Do they just have a copy of that around as their combat doctrine prescript?

#

I guess they don't need the physical sheet, humu

#

And they receive target prescripts beforehand

split beacon
#

Spoilers all:
|||```
Hermes and Rien were the primary hand that initiated a lot of the things that happened in Canto 9, which begs some questions. Why would the Will of the Prescript go out of its way to initiate all of this, and most likely ensure the outcome we reached?

To answer this question we'll consider the Gods of the City and their purpose. According to the Ruina artbook, they are the gathered desires of the people of the City manifest - the desire for direction, for example, is where the Prescripts in general come from. So what is it that the people of the City desire? My answer is simple: to avoid extinction.

The Will of the Prescript ensured we'd succeed, by engineering the LC HQ raid and the subsequent attack on the House of Spiders, making sure that we would gain our Golden Bough and develop Ryoshu, because our purpose in its grand design is to ultimately prevent the death of the City and/or a second Smoke War, so it needs us to succeed. Hence Rien being able to orchestrate all of this, hence Rien getting messaged by Dias and welcomed in to attack LC HQ, hence our ultimate success.

Because it wants us to.

faint pivot
#

Ping me when you're done Blue, I'll get some more back-ah nvm

split beacon
#

tl;dr Rien may be loved by a God of the City but that love is not a good or nice thing, it simply makes him the favorite tool and toy of a God with its own intentions, literally a Proxy and not a valued keepsake

faint pivot
#

...Udjat Outis casually thwarting both ||a God and Dias||

split beacon
#

different mirror world, different powers at play?

faint pivot
#

Perhaps, but it sounds badass

ebon forge
#

So…

cosmic gorge
split beacon
#

it's an unwise decision

#

but a funny one

ebon forge
#

||Ryoshu can read time
Gregor is the roach king
Sinclair can call on his own futures
Outis can twart god||

split beacon
#

outis killed tens of thousands

faint pivot
#

Who'd get Lucio?

split beacon
#

oh yeah also the Index exists because people are bored*

*this is a humorous misconstruction

faint pivot
#

Is there really a betrayer among us

#

Or rather someone who wanted to betray

split beacon
#

yes but it's Pablo

This has to be another Jia Mu situation

Moreso obedience than anything

ebon forge
#

callisto is still my favorite nursefather

#

i feel like callisto gregor feels lovely

lean fjord
#

What if, Callisto Meursault

ebon forge
#

a meursault who wishes to be understood, yet is chained to his own self?

#

yeah that works

#

lol

lean fjord
#

Exactly yeah

faint pivot
#

What were the sins of the NF again

#

Or rather the cause of their condemnation

lean fjord
#

We don't know for sure for some of them

ebon forge
#

i think rien wasnt condemned for certain

#

i know val did something fucked up in 3 days time

faint pivot
lean fjord
#

Rien was there because the Prescript told him to be there

ebon forge
#

duihui was taken because they needed her capabilities i think, right?

faint pivot
#

Being assigned as director of the house essentially

ebon forge
#

middle stole the sword

#

and ring... i dont know about him

faint pivot
faint pivot
ebon forge
#

i dont know, really, he's kinda chill

lean fjord
#

Valencina did something to be ousted as sottocapo after only three days, and was disgraced by her family for it

faint pivot
#

He knows a lot about the other art movements

#

But the times we see him practice his own art he remarks it's either safe or implementing another movement's practices

lean fjord
ebon forge
#

yeah he's a good teacher

#

and a dude whose kinda needy and pathetic and honestly

#

huggable, compared to the rest, aside from being metal

faint pivot
#

It's much too normal for the Ring's standards

tiny cave
#

I’m still on the Ren Sinclair, Lucio Greg train

Because Sinclair had a thumb ID recently

lucio greg but only if we get val rodya

Bad game

Lmfao

#

There is no ||Moses to blow a hole in Ahabtthias and now Kiramael wants revenge||

faint pivot
#

Fau, Don, Yi Sang

#

Fau isn't from Don & Yi Sang's teams so it makes sense her medium is different

tiny cave
#

I’m betting Ezra Rodion, Moses Outis and Mersault Vespa when it happens

lean fjord
#

I think for Ren, Hong Lu is most likely

ebon forge
#

if i chose the teams

faint pivot
ebon forge
#

i almost wanna say i like the idea of sinclair/yi sang/faust for ring

#

and gregor, rodya is amazing, 10/10

faint pivot
#

Thought the Index IDs showed a pattern there

ebon forge
#

yeah thats what im talking about

faint pivot
#

Oh

#

Lmfao Carmen

#

All three got two IDs last season

#

The Gluttony canto is over let the others eat

ebon forge
#

im not talking about IDs lol

#

im talking about for which nf they fought

faint pivot
#

Ahh

#

What parameters were the teams chosen on, I wonder

ebon forge

also

#

Lei Heng is mad fucking funny

dude came from the grave to troll ryoshu in her irl somehow

Didn't Sinclair akso encounter Callisto during the raid?

faint pivot

Spoilers, and we're talking about pt 2

ebon forge
#

wait

#

oh duh

ngl im too used to not spoilering stuff

faint pivot

...oh right technically both are raids

I'd need to compare who is in which team more exactly

||we know cathy and araya have the potential to be brought back||

#

||so why not sora, bitchass kjh, im gonna kill you||

faint pivot
minor gust
#

I have. A question about ||a certain sinclair|| is it because he's from a ||a far future COMAPRED to mirror identities which are same time frames but parallel is why he's powerful?||

faint pivot
#

It's That Hunter x Hunter scene

ebon forge
#

||also because unlike normal IDs this is sinclair drawing on his own future||

#

||rather than possible futures||

faint pivot
#

Well

faint pivot
ebon forge
#

||possible futures in the sense of regular identities we pull||

mystic ermine
#

Shes gone gone

ebon forge
#

nope

#

im actually saying it'

#

you're wrong wrong because ||araya can be brought back||

||But to compare, IDs are the sinners in different positions but the same point in time. Colorclair is the same sinner in the same position in a different point of time||

Dante being hit by ||Sora||... can we count that as them throwing hands? Though failing?

Itd be another!

Dante caught hands

Then again

I'd like to say that both ||Malkuth and Ira abilities are enough extensions of their will to count||

#

Therefore I vote for there to be two bingos

Unfriendly reminder that the ||roach emperor||, ||Pinky rematch||, A certain ||sinclair|| and ||Laevithans fullness|| all happened at rhe same time and Dante had to manage all of that at once
